Another thing you can do is apply matte nail polish to the keys to act as a protective covering. I've not tried it, but read somewhere about someone doing it. So far I haven't seen even the slightest sign of the silver coming off. If I do start to see it, I'll have to try that nail polish... although by then I think I'll have a different phone. ;)

As for dust, I don't have any at all. I think I got a version that had the screen fix, as I remember reading about a lot of dust complaints when I first got my phone.

I didn't realize that there's a JellyBean ROM being worked on that can be installed on the Hero. Did you see much of a performance difference? I wonder what benefits you get from it.

You took off the ADW Launcher and installed Holo Launcher in its place, or did you just add Holo and configure it to be the default?
[Hero CDMA General] kjjjjshab:
Just added Holo Launcher and configured as default. Get Acheps theme too and you will be impressed.

The Jelly Bean advantage is getting the updated gmail, calendar, etc. and the new notifications are very nice. The alpha doesn't have working camera, and GPS can cause random reboots, from my experience. The contacts are nice too, with the larger images. AND it is just pretty darn cool to be running JB on the heroc... don't really need too much more than that! :cool:

Poor Video Quality

I asked this in a another thread and got no response, so maybe since this thread is active I can get a remedy....

I took some video last week and when I went to replay it, it was all garbled (like your direct tv would be during a storm) Like there was a bad "signal" or something. Im not O/C, no fire rats....all other settings are normal. Im running TeamHeroC ROM.

Any suggestions as to what could be causing it, or a remedy would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

So since this seems to be where people are coming and such. Was wondering if others are having trouble with their radios. I have seen a couple of people talk about it. It first happened to my phone a few weeks back. Was running jaybobs cm 7.2 when it happened. My radio just stopped working. No calls texts or data. Did a full wipe reloaded the rom. Still had nothing after a couple of hours of wiping changing roms finally got everything going again. Don't know if it was because of all the cleaning or if it was the flashing of different roms that got it going. I know that the radio kicking off on zero hero is a little bit of an issue. So to make a long story longer. Is anybody else having radio issues? And is it my poor little hero, sprint, the kernal, or aliens trying to block the power of the hero?....lol

Have you tried flashing new radio image?

Sent from my HERO200
[Hero CDMA General] fargond71:
No haven't tried that yet. When it originally happened I went from one market to another during travel. So I guess that could be a factor. Oh and I guess that the radio underlies the rom? May have to try flashing the radio.

Oh and by the way I know with the new roms most of them you are supposed to be s-off but I'm still s-on don't really know why just never got around to changing it.

Well been thinking detoxing the phone all together. Figure that flashing new roms every few weeks leaves alot of junk behind. When I flash I always wipe and start clean but I'm a flash whore. Love that new phone feel without the new phone price.
[Hero CDMA General] NineInchNails:
To correct you, the "data" periodically turns off. I haven't had it happen in 4 days in fact.

Not the radio shutting off. These are details that will get people confused about our Rom.

Our Rom runs the radio just fine. I don't miss calls or texts. The issues of ring lag are narrowed down to network issues and as I've stated before I can't fix that.

That is awesome to have someone like that to show you the ropes, we need more like that. Personally when I found this forum it was like a gold mine. I have never in my life seen so much knowledge gathered in one place working for the same cause.
[Hero CDMA General] fargond71:
Well I have to say that I really like atmosphere around here better. There was a time that this forum was like the new phone forums. People all freaking out because they had bought the newest and greatest phone and expected it to just do everything for them. When they came here they just wanted someone to fix it for them. Didn't want to do a little research or wait until someone figured it out. I definately understood Matt's previous stand as the 'resident prick'. People needed to take responsibility and learn. I wish that I had the knowledge to help out but most of the stuff I know comes from reading here and other people can read as well as I do. I wish that I had more 'making rom knowledge ' but I really don't like firing up the desktop. Most of my time is spent on my g-tab when I have time.

That's why I appreciate the developers so much because they allow me to use their knowledge to get what I want out of my phone.

I agree zero hero is what sprint and HTC should have made the hero into. With the resources that they have this would have been easy.
[Hero CDMA General] NineInchNails:
If HTC actually made Sense completely open source, we would have a nice clean Sense build here. But they don't and that makes it harder to produce a good clean build. But personally I think Dastin and I have made a great Rom. Sure its not 100%. It soft reboots on install. Small issues to pay for what you get. Sense. And I've missed it. I love and hate it.

Ahhh yes, Tool. Wine is not my favorite beverages, But Tool is one of my all time favorite bands.

Especially in Developement and Q&A,,,I mean, Our Devs here are doing things that most say could not be done. Thats something that could hardly be considerd legacy, is it?

Not Low Activity, just Lurkers

I've had an XDA account for ages but this might be my very first comment. I just love my Hero and have no intention of giving it up (though I am hoping to replace its everyday use with a Galaxy Nexus). I'm so grateful to all the many people who contribute to XDA for all the info that has allowed me to keep my Hero alive and (mostly) happy. My friends are always amazed by what I can do with my little antique Android. Thanks to these forums, I'm the resident expert (which is sort of sad). While I can't argue that the HTC Hero is not a legacy device... I will argue that we're not so much low activity as just lurkers. I know I'm a lurker and I bet there are a lot more. Anyway, that was all. Thanks everyone!

Been a lurker for years.. my favorite forum I have been a member since 1999 and only have 200 or so posts. With this site I probably wont have that many because nOOb posts and posts deemed unnecessary posts are frowned upon. You get a video lecture on this just for signing up for the forums. Kinda scares some people (like me) from posting at all. I had some unusual problems that the almighty Google couldn't solve is the only reason I have as many posts as I do now. Lots of nOOb bashing around here.. even if you are a cool nOOb. :D
[Hero CDMA General] NineInchNails:
I've only really bashed noobs that deserve it. I know I've been harsh and so have others but its pretty easy to post a proper post here. If not, We will most times be somewhat kind enough to tell them its been answered before and to use the search. Then if they give a snotty response ill unleash the noob hammer. Can't tell how many times ill edit a post to get it to sound right. Even if Im being a jerk. Sure I've probably been close to being banned for some posts but I can honestly say they deserved it.

But with that being said. Feel free to post anything in here. Just try to keep it in this thread and not create a new one just to say hi. Reason is its easy to subscribe to one thread for general talk then.

I promise ill be kind and thank a lot of posts. Quit lurking out there and join. Post any questions or anything that's on your mind. I know myself and others will talk about anything.

Legacy.. that bites.

The Hero is still a very good everyday phone, in fact I just purchased 4 in December, 3 brand new and one slightly used. (yes you can still find new Heros on fleabay) They sell new low end Driods that are only slightly faster than the Hero.

If you already have a Hero there is no reason to upgrade a perfectly fine phone... or in my case... its a cheap way to get introduced to Android.

Development for this device is still active, I am installing Gingerbread as I type this. I see no reason to put us on the back shelf.

If you think about it the Hero is one of the smartest phones in existence because it makes the statement "I know how to tweak my phone so I dont need a Motorola Photon" This is a tweakers dream, inexpensive and durable, can be overclocked to outperform some new phones. After all, isn't this a hobbyist/enthusiasts website?

Oh well.. back to my ROM hopping adventures.

:D

Just love seeing what is going on and lately you guys have been spoiling me because for a "low activity device" it seems that there are alot of new roms and updates to check out. Been downloading every hero rom I can find because I really do like my little outdated guy and even after I eventually upgrade will probably continue to mess with it.

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] Drunkpilot:
I don't know how durable other phones are, but the Hero is really amazing. My battery it's still rockin and since we got gingerbread, the development has been astonishingly prolific. We have had great developers that have spawned more great developers and no egos. I have really only seen one real goof that had to be removed in a year. I came in with cm6.2 jaybob love basically. The Hero is a great compact phone that I would rather have over many phones that came in with the Hero and after. That's because of the developers and this great xda forum. I had no idea about the potential of this phone until finding xda. Thank God! I was pissed at my Sprint rep until I rooted, hacked and transformed. It might be legacy, but you guys have made and kept it legendary. Thanks to everyone for their involvement.
